X post. Can I get my own foster care records?

In our state (OR) they would have let Dh have access but they were destroyed by the time he inquired. I'm not sure if he could have had copies or not, because he never got to that point.Ask, and if they refuse, get a lawyer to ask. Sometimes the fact that a lawyer types it up on his letterhead makes a difference. I've been refused my medical records before, so just because someone says no doesn't mean that is legal.
